Multi-core 11,100 · $236
"4% slower single-core, 26% better multi-core"
Upgrade Verdict
This would be a sidegrade at best, and likely a downgrade in multi-threaded tasks due to fewer cores. The 5900HX is a laptop chip, and the 5600X is a desktop chip, making a direct 'upgrade' impossible without a platform change. Not worth it.
